  1. Former #FiveThirtyEight data editor George Elliott Morris, who was #laidoff in a #pollster purge along with all his staff last week at #ABCNews noted in a personal post on #MelonHusk 's X platform that a decade of their past poll #analytics work has been deleted from public view.

    #Disney owned news network "has now fully taken down the old 538 archives, including all interactive projects since 2014." Adding this insult to injury of his job loss, he called disappearance of their #archives "totally unacceptable and a real betrayal of the public."

    Pun aside, I just wanted to note that it is interesting that Trump's chances went from 56% to 58% with #DDHQ's model over the same period Trump's chances went from 51% to 49% with #538.

    Just goes to show that models are imperfect measures and what goes into them is important to what comes out of them!
